The Complete Guide to Boat Trips in Costa Adeje: Navigating Paradise on the Atlantic
Boat Trips in Costa Adeje
Boat trips in Costa Adeje are one of the easiest ways to enjoy the coastline—comfortable, scenic, and simple to arrange from the main resort area. Most excursions leave from Puerto Colón, making them a great choice for couples, families, and groups who want a fun day on the water without booking a private boat.
This page is focused on shared and premium excursions such as catamarans, limited-passenger trips, celebration cruises, and a few luxury-style options where you get a higher comfort level while still sharing the experience. If you want the boat exclusively for your group, see our separate page for Costa Adeje boat hire.
Types of trips available
- Classic coastal cruises: relaxed and easy, perfect for first-time visitors.
- Catamaran excursions: spacious, stable, and ideal for comfort.
- Limited-passenger experiences: fewer guests onboard for a calmer vibe.
- Luxury-style trips: a step up in boat quality, seating, and atmosphere.
- Celebration & party cruises: music-focused trips for social groups.
Luxury-style boat trips
If you want something above the standard excursion but don’t need a full private charter, luxury-style trips are a smart upgrade. Expect a better layout, more comfort, and a more “special occasion” feel—popular for couples’ holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, and small groups who prefer a more premium atmosphere.
Departures: Puerto Colón
Most excursions start at Puerto Colón, the main marina . It’s centrally located and easy to reach from nearby hotels by walking, taxi, or optional transport (depending on the operator and schedule).
Choosing the right duration
- 2 hours: best if you want a short, simple cruise.
- 3 hours: the most popular choice for a complete experience without feeling rushed.
- 4.5–5 hours: ideal if you want more coastline, more time onboard, and a longer route.
Popular trip styles (with examples)
Catamaran comfort
Catamarans are a top pick for comfort and stability, especially for families. A well-known option is the Freebird Catamaran, available in different durations depending on the route.
Limited-passenger trips (more premium, still shared)
If you prefer a calmer setting with more space per guest, limited-passenger trips are a great “middle ground” between standard excursions and private hire.
- Spacious Catamaran (limited passengers)
- Opera 60 (semi-rigid excursion)
- Fairline 42 excursion (limited group)
Scenic routes: Los Gigantes & Masca Bay
Some longer routes combine cruising with iconic scenery, including views of the Cliffs of Los Gigantes.
When sea conditions allow, longer excursions may include time near Masca Bay, known for its dramatic backdrop and calm-water stops.
Transport and meeting points
Some trips include or offer optional pick-up from nearby resort areas. Availability depends on the specific excursion and time slot. If you tell us where you’re staying, we can recommend the easiest option and confirm the meeting point for your chosen trip.
